With an upcoming Christmas Advent Calendar event, I'm sure some of you are dying to start working on your new maps while others are waiting to play them. For this occasion, we added new toys, but most importantly, we added our first new enemy to the game - Crystalpede! Gifted

New Level Editor toys

• New Enemy - Crystalpede This is a new type of big enemy that acts similar to the caterpillar enemy except that it travels in all directions and it fires toward you if you cross its path.
• New Trap - Boulder Boulder Spawner spawns a boulder that travels in one direction until it hits the wall.
• New Bonus Pickup - Miner's Dew
• Over 40 new construction blocks - Extensions to existing ones - Red pipes - Animated floors - More, check them out!

Level Editor updates

• Level Theme setting You can now set what (holiday) theme is your custom level using by default. That means that even if the holiday is not active, the level will still use holiday-themed content. NOTE: Disable festive content setting will disable the themed content is toggled.
• Random Terrain Generator updated - Noise threshold lowered to avoid very noisy generations - Generator can now produce island-type terrain (instead of holes in the big mass)
• Light Switch toggle option You can now toggle the light switch ON by default so the level will start with the lights on. | NOTE: Last placed switch decides the default state

Other

• In the Christmas season, falling boulders will be covered in snow.

The year is around, and the Christmas holidays are nearly upon us! Like two years ago, we are again hosting a Mylo's Christmas Calendar event, because it's just too much fun not to do it again this year! Are you ready to get all festive? snowflakes
Christmas is a time of giving, and what better way to do it in Crystal Caves than to create a Christmas level for everyone to enjoy? Gifted CotcHeart Every day from December 1st to December 24th, one of you will publish the calendar level on Steam Workshop, which we can all play, and hopefully, we'll have a full calendar collection of 24 levels by Christmas! And who knows, you may even get some new toys again before the start of the event.

cc_candle RULES:

• Pick a date between Dec. 1st - 24th and publish your level on that day
• Level must be finishable!
• Name the level in the following format: "Advent Cal 2022 - 01"

CotcTorch OPTIONAL RULES / GUIDELINES:

• Let others know which date you've picked to avoid multiple submissions on the same day.
• Try to conjure the Christmas spirit (description, visuals, shape...).
• Everyone is welcome to join, even if you haven't made a custom level before.

cc_crystal BONUS:

• At the end of the competition, we'll pick one random participant who will receive a free copy of the game for gifting!

For the last two years, Halloween festive content was unlocked late in October and lasted around one week or two weeks. We decided to unlock it earlier this month, and from now on, it will be unlocked on October 1st.

New cc_candle

• Halloween Theme is now unlocked with October 1st Don't forget that you can always disable festive content in the game settings.
• Random Custom Level browser With such a huge amount of custom levels, older levels hardly get any attention because it takes a while to scroll so far. That's why we added the Random Pick filter in the Workshop level browser. Every game session, 14 random levels will be picked for you to play.
• New Dark Terrain and Torches added to level editor Do you feel like creating a new, dark, spooky level? I hope these will help you to achieve that mood.

Fixes CotcShovel

• After returning to the main menu from the custom level, the level browser will correctly display levels now

Hey Crystal Cavers! Thanks to a fantastic community of level creators, we now have over 700 custom levels made? That's almost one new level every third day since the last year, which is simply impressive. Hardcore, casual, puzzle, funny, weird, tribute levels, I'm sure you will find something that you will enjoy, or simply play them all, and you're good for a while! cc_mylo This hot-fix/update is fixing a very old bug that has been pesting new level creators since day one, and it is adding even more tools for level creators.

Fixes cc_explosion

• If you created a level after playing a studio level, you could lose your custom level by testing it and finishing it. This would replace your creation with an empty map.

New in Level Editor cc_strawberry

• Random Terrain generation Are you having problems coming up with a level layout idea? Sweat no more! Use the new Random Terrain generation feature to generate random terrain using a random theme.
  
• Grid Long requested feature is finally here. The grid will show you the center lines of the levels so you can plan and split levels easily without counting tiles.
• Zoom levels Want to see the whole map while designing it? Press TAB and change zoom levels.
• Copy tiles You can now speed up your level design process by copying tiles by right-clicking on them.

Year is around and we hope your adventures in the Altarian star system are going well cc_mylo This community have shown more love for custom content that we could ever expect (almost 600 custom levels!!!) and for that, we are releasing few extra toys to play with in level editor and one special item - Twibble Spawner! Get those spawners going and populate your levels with happy Twibbles Gifted Next to that, we also added a new type of crystals which are now used in Episode 4.

At the same time, I would like to announce that the game passed a big milestone - there are now over 400 custom levels made thanks to passionate level creators. That's 100 amazing maps done every month since the release of the game and 7x the amount of levels in all 4 episodes together. CotcHeart
